"Daddy…" Amelia crawled into her dads lap and looked up at him.
"Yes princess?" he asked smiling at his little girl as she looked down at her now casted arm.
"You're leaving again?" she asked sadly.
He felt a hand on his lap again and he looked over at his wife.
"You have to tell her," she said, "she already knows, you can't just leave her with that detective without her knowing why you left her, she already doesn't know why I'm not there, she has to know," she begged her husband to tell their daughter.
"Yes baby, I am, they need me to go back overseas to help them out." He said pulling her into his arms.
"Its okay daddy, you can go, I want you to help them, they need you," she said looking up at him.
Weeks later Amelia is walking with her father into the Special Victims Unit.
"Detective Benson" Mac said going over to the detective.
"Mr. Johnston, what are you doing here?" she asked as she looked him up and down, he was wearing his Navy uniform.
"I'm leaving today," he said as Amelia let go of his hand looking down.
"Mr. Johnston, I can't, I've got a son of my own, I don't have time to take care of another one, I'm so sorry."
"Please Detective Benson," He began as he looked over at his little girl who was sitting with Detective Rollins drawing on a piece of paper, "she's a good kid, she just needs someone to take care of her, she's not difficult at all, in fact, she's good with little ones. She can help you with your son."
"I believe she said she can't take care of her sir," Detective Amaro jumped in, " I understand where you're coming from, wanting your daughter to stay with someone who is trust worthy, but she said she doesn't have to time, she has a son of her own."
Mac just looked at Detective Amaro then to Detective Benson, she didn't say anything. Mac nodded as he turned around, "Amelia," he said, "come on Princess."
"Am I not staying with her?" she asked looking at Detective Benson.
"No sweetheart, she can't take care of you," he said looking down as she got up from Detective Rollins' lap, "You're going to be staying with someone else."
"Who?" she asked looking up to her daddy.
"I don't know…" he said "I don't have anyone else you can stay with," he knelt down in front of her, "You're going to go stay with a couple who aren't fortunate enough to have kids of their own."
"Who are they?"
"I don't know that one sweetie but well find someone, I promise." He said kissing her on the head as he picked her up and they left the squad room.
1 hour later
"Daddy…" Amelia cried into her father's shoulder.
"I'm going to miss you so much baby." He said rubbing her back.
"Me too…" she said kissing him on the cheek.
He kissed his baby girl on her head for the last time, but he didn't know that yet….
